Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Education

Background:

  • Recent decades show significant progress in dyslexia and bilingualism research.
  • Historically, dyslexia studies focused on monolinguals, while bilingualism research often excluded special educational needs.
  • A gap exists in understanding dyslexia within multilingual contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing research on multilingualism and dyslexia.
  • To identify major challenges for researchers and teachers in this field.
  • To highlight the need for understanding the interplay between dyslexia, language learning, and literacy in multilingual individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on dyslexia and multilingualism.
  • Synthesis of research findings concerning language acquisition and literacy development.
  • Identification of challenges based on current research gaps.

Main Results:

  • Limited research directly addresses dyslexia in multilingual populations.
  • Significant challenges exist in assessing and supporting multilingual learners with dyslexia.
  • Understanding the bidirectional impact of dyslexia on multilingualism and vice versa is crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to bridge the gap between dyslexia and multilingualism studies.
  • Educators require better resources and understanding to support multilingual students with dyslexia.
  • A comprehensive approach is necessary to address the unique needs of multilingual individuals with dyslexia.
